Call for fundamental review of Ireland’s planning process

There’s a call for a fundamental review of the planning process in Ireland.

That’s according to John Power who's from Tralee, and was recently elected President of Engineers Ireland, the main professional body for engineers in Ireland.

He says the planning process for major infrastructural projects is a mess, particularly for renewable energy.

He believes Kerry should be taking lead in renewable energy and developing offshore infrastructure in the likes of Fenit.
